 C» . stagnalis a form with ~ though short - Sterine 6 fruits, I re- 

 marked there; long-stemned ones I have so far not seen». 



Pinally still a word about the Classification, I had in 

 time passed. a 3 part division, as the one mentioned by you. It 

 did not evade me, that of several species no aquatic form ex-

 defining 1 and 2 - the absence of bracts with No. 1 is not con- 

 stant - whereas the differences of Organization of my two sec- 

 tions are striking and many. The only disturbing factor in my 

 division is the mentioned circumstance of the New-Holland- species^.. 

 as this differs in a striking point from all others, öther^ in the 

 fruit (position ? E.D. ), the stomata, etc line&*rp with my section 1 # . 



May I ask you for a reply to my request made at the begin-
